LT, if I didn’t know better I would think we had the same T. Reading your sessions, I can hear my T saying everything your t says. It’s so weird, they have the EXACT same style. And it’s ironic because I also switched from a female T (I think just a few months before you switched) with some interesting dynamics who allowed more outside contact to my current T. Current T is male, has very firm boundaries, and is caring in a professional way. And just like you’ve experienced with this new T, I thought I’d be upset about the tighter boundaries at first, but I actually feel safer with him now and it makes it easier to define the relationship in my mind.
